- 5.7 HEMI
Alright, so the saga continues with my 2014 1500. Got something going on for the last several hundred miles, that Im looking for some guidance on!
First of all: 2014 1500 with a 5.7 HEMI. 8hp70 transmission. 167k miles.
Lately, when I get to around 4th-5th gear, if Im feathering the throttle (ie. maintaining speed, 5-10% kind of thing) - about 70% of the time Ill get a shudder intermittentaly, about every 3-5 seconds. Doesnt seem to be speed dependent (other than the fact that 5th is in a fairly consistent speed range on this transmission), and the vibration/shudder speed/frequency doesnt seem to follow speed either -as best as I can tell.
If I start driving more aggressively however, the whole thing seems to go away. Im kind of at a loss here. Any thoughts as to what could be the culprit - or at least somewhere to start diagnosing the issue!
Thanks!
